There are enough people that have the same problem that I thought it prudent to help people figure this out.
First, let me define a couple of terms:
Freeze: this is when the mou…
If your computer is freezing:
This is almost always a hardware problem. There is no known software mechanism in OS X that allows a freeze. One thing you can do to verify a freez…
If your computer is panicking:
This is the more difficult situation to generalize. This could be caused by virtually any piece of bad hardware or hardware related software softwa…
What if I can't get my machine to boot to read the panic.log?
or
What if there isno panic.log?
After you hear the chime, hold down command-v. This will boot your machine in verbo…
What if the panic is caused by the Apple ATA driver?
or
What if my machine stopped responding, and when I rebooted I got a blinking question mark?
Suspect either failing ATA hardw…
A few final notes:
Bad RAM is very common. If most of your programs are crashing unexpectedly, or you are getting a lot of kernel panics, suspect bad RAM. Keep in mind that rei…

Start into single-user mode by holding down the Command and S keys at startup, and when you get to the prompt, type this command:

Thank you for a response. I got in touch with APPLE CARE and they walked me thru the above suggestions. I had to end up with an archive and install and after running TECH TOOL I re…
I have had a persistent shutdown panic ever since updating to Tiger. The log file did not show a particular application to be causing the problem. The Hardware Test Disk gave my co…
Hi John,
Thanks for that tip. I had tried everything else to resolve a similar issue on my PB 1.25 and that seems to have done the trick. I'll give it a full to see for sure. Can'…
I am beginning to wonder if there is a general problem with the Tiger install corrupting parameters. My daughter's ibook would not recognize her CD drive after updating. I used the…
Well, I've already had my first freeze of the day since running the open firmware procedure but it happened under a little different circumsttances. Instead of freezing with a kern…
